SundRy Education Home
SundRy Education is an information system solution company focused on improving student learning outcomes. The mission of education is the transfer of knowledge and skills to students. We provide systems that interact with people to perform the processes needed to accomplish the education mission. Our approach is systematic and quality model based. Our systems are scientifically designed with educators and implemented using best engineering practices.
The Aligned·By·Design (A·B·D) system is our flagship product consisting of several highly integrated modules. It is a Knowledge/Skills-centric process management system for education – all of education - with focus on the objective of student learning. The system implements an optimized educational process and data model with infrastructure for automation, communications, and workflow. The system is content independent, yet enables clear definition of “what to teach” while leaving the “how to teach” to teaching professionals. SundRy Education also provides educational Services, including those in support of the Aligned·By·Design system to help State and local educators maximize the benefits.
Education processes are complex, people-oriented, and span many years as students move through the Education system. Aligned·By·Design provides tremendous immediate benefits from automating these processes using existing materials. From that entry point, the system enables and encourages educators to continuously evolve their materials, processes, and methods which will increase efficiency, improve their performance, and sustain increases in student performance outcomes.
The core, unique innovative feature of the system is using the discrete Knowledge/Skill item as the unit of denomination for alignment. Alignment is critical in meeting educational objectives and Aligned·By·Design can establish and maintain durable links to Knowledge/Skills to keep Standards/Frameworks, Classroom Curriculum, and Assessments in perfect alignment at the discrete Knowledge/Skill item level even as all three sets of materials continuously evolve.
Alignment of Classroom Curriculum to Standards and Assessments at the discrete Knowledge/Skill items level provides real-time, accurate information to Teachers, Students, and Parents regarding Student learning progress and remediation needs. The highly integrated nature of the system provides data recording at all process points without adding additional work to Teachers or staff, improving data quality and latency. And with this detailed information automatically fed into cross-sectional and longitudinal databases, Aligned·By·Design provides pinpoint accuracy in its efficiency and effectiveness - analysis of all materials, practices, methods, and performances.
Educator’s today face a performance crisis, a reform crisis, and a financial crisis. Help is coming in from all sides, but with strings attached. The Race to the Top competition, the forthcoming implementation of Common Core State Standards and Assessments, in addition to keeping up with the day-to-day Education tasks and other eductional challenges is overloading Educators. Aligned·By·Design can help across the board - the system provides a unique end-to-end solution that offers a foundation for a visionary transformation of school systems by providing an immediate incredible increase in efficiency, a steady improvement of all materials including their proper, critical alignment, and better performance by all Educational roles. Aligned·By·Design is therefore the perfect application backbone for States entering the RttT competition.
